Terrence Howard on Kissing Oprah

Terrence Howard is back on the big screen and he’s more bad-ass than ever as a crime lord’s right-hand man and he is also getting people talking about his role in the upcoming film The Butler, about a White House butler who served eight American Presidents over the course of three decades. And much of the buzz centers around some sexual chemistry that he shares with…wait for it, Oprah Winfrey.

“To watch Oprah loose the O and to see her as a woman, to kiss her, to contradict what she’s known for… To treat her like a desirable woman was the best thing,” says Terrence of making out with Oprah in a scene of the Lee Daniels-directed film. “Lee told me that he was going to do for me what he did for Mo’Nique in Precious.”

Can’t wait to see that!

In the meantime, catch Terrence Howard in Dead Man Down which opens in theaters this weekend!
